Blackbird is a band coming from South-West Germany.  To cut a long story short.  If you’re into bands like AC/DC, Krokus, Airbourne, and want to have a good time, you definitely should buy this album.

It’s pure no-nonsense rock’n’roll from start to end.  The vocals sound like a mix between Brian Johnson and Udo Dirkschneider.  Of course not all songs are equally good, but isn’t this type of music meant to have fun?  In which case it doesn’t do any harm if some songs sound alike.

Gallows Pole was formed (unofficially) back in 1977 in Vienna, Austria. In 1979 the band released their first single Shut up/Destiny under the name Angelina. It was number one in the Austrian charts. Then the band decided to change the name, and Gallows Pole was officially born. And since then the band have been playing melodic rock music and of course recording it. And now this very old school band is back for more.
